“With demonic activity on the rise with support from the left and the media (i.e. TV shows “Lucifer,” “Long Island Medium,” etc.), I wondered if it is possible for one to be a legitimate clairvoyant and be Christian as well. Is it possible for ANYONE to be clairvoyant? Are there those who can “see” into other’s minds, solve crimes, etc.? If so, is this a “gift” from our LORD or always demonic in origin. Scripture is clear that occult activity is an abomination to GOD. But is it possible that certain kinds of clairvoyant ability is GOD’s will?”

Would you please clarify the meaning of this movie for me?”

“I have not seen the massively popular Stranger Things but I've heard that it's quite ‘creepy’. I also know that they've put out a Stranger Things ouija board which makes me wonder if there's anything demonic or problematic with the show itself? Lots of friends have recommended it but they've also talked about Harry Potter before so I'm hoping to get a clearer answer on whether watching the show is problematic. Thank you in advance.”
